Detailed Description

This steering tie rod end is built as an OE-style replacement for the front right outer steering position on 1992-1996 Honda Prelude models. The Dorman 544-178 uses a bent profile, steel housing, polymer bearing material, and a polychloroprene dust boot to support consistent steering linkage movement. The pre-greased design and included dust boot help simplify service while maintaining a clean, sealed joint area.

What It Helps Fix

• Loose or vague steering feel

• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage components
• Alignment issues after tie rod wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front right outer steering position only for the listed Honda Prelude applications. Because the tie rod end is adjustable, a professional wheel alignment should be performed after installation. Verify thread direction, taper fit, and steering linkage condition before service. Confirm compatibility by year, make, model, and position before ordering Dorman 544-178.
